Meet Shamsul and Nabila We started the day seeing some prettiness in the form of some Christy Ng heels, and a beautiful full length lace trimmed veil and those gorgeous long dress. I’ve always most loved those photos that capture in between instances. You know, the ones that people don’t seem to notice, or realize were taken. Nabila always busy with many things, her phone, her friends, and family. I just don’t have much time to photograph her in person. Most of the photos in here consists her & everybody else. We have another photography session at the beach but I’ll keep the photos just for her viewing since that photos were really intimate with her husband & closed friends.

Nabila & Shamsul, thank you SO much for letting me be a part of this journey.. not just as your photographer, but also your friend. I hope you find a room for these images in your heart, and I hope they bring back a little slice of joy in the years to come if you ever take a walk down memory lane.

I’m in the midst of a super crazy period at Foto by Razali so time of any kind is very very exceptional… Yet I didn’t want this week to fly by without sharing with you this little and sweet wedding I shot one weekend where the weather was nearly perfect, the air was sweet with the lingering flavor of love, and where we could catch the sound of the ocean crashing against the rocks in the distance while Faridah and Norman promised their love story amidst ear-to-ear smiles, and sworn each other their futures and hearts in front of their closest family and friend. I have to confess, small intimate weddings, where the couple is deeply in love, have a very soft spot in my heart. I sincerely believe that when you are surrounded ONLY by those precious to you, the day becomes so much more special, more enjoyable, more relaxed. And it shows in the photos 100%. It was a glorious afternoon and one where I was so lucky to have witnessed and be a part of. Thank you Faridah and Norman for your trust in me that day!! I hope you look back at these photos and are reminded every time how deeply special your love is to one another.

Wow… has this week started off on a crazy note?? I am still trying to catch my breath on my chair… everyone… design, post production, family, and everything have all been busy as anything! And as the only guy in this craziness, I’m hiding in the corner feeling a little overwhelmed.

Anyways, getting back to the photographs 🙂 Have I said how much i LOVE brides & grooms who not just dare to be unusual, but do it in STYLE. I mean, we all know that it’s easy to be different, but to keep it classic, stylish, and have that timeless effect? That’s not as easy a task. But when I saw Aishah and Roy turn up to their solemnization shoot in a different way oh dear, I have such a thousands of idea coming in. They look soooooo good in photos!!, I was just obsessed. It just goes to show, a shoot can still be elegantly simple with the right pieces to stand out.

This wedding was held in Batu Pahat. And all those portrait photos were taken around Batu Pahat & Kluang. Thank you sooooooooo much to the both of you for being so bold and going for something out of the box, and then trusting in me when I said you looked amazing with the little hints of get in the middle of the road. You both looked astonishing. My camera couldn’t love you enough that day!!

Those family member that make the event so fantastic, thank you so much. For her only brother that watch them all 3 days session, I could thank Sudin enough. Just make sure we plan for another trip. Lol.

I’m here to share with you, a really special day that I got to step into, dips in, and preserve eternally in images. And more significantly, share about just how beautiful these two souls are. People think I say this about every couple, but these two have seriously left a footprint on my heart. They inspire me with their love story that I heard from their family and how their mother make them fall in love, they inspire me with their incredible humbleness, and just by witnessing their lives, family and friends for a day I have been impressed by their honest love and kindness towards those around them.

Raudha & Hafiz. What can I say? I can’t thank you enough for trusting me to tell the story of your big day. I hope these photos do some sort of justice and treasure a small place in your heart to treasure for the rest of your days. This ceremony held in a very calm little town, Felda Linggiu, Kota Tinggi. My very first client came from here as well. I’ve been shooting here for five time including this one. I found a very unique landscape area for an outdoor portraiture around this area. We spent about two hours wandering & having fun after the rain. It was so intimate looking how closed Raudha & Hafiz are.

Thank you for letting us be a part of something so special between you both. You two are the luckiest, to have found each other.

Happy hump day everyone! I’m leaving you with a sweet little solemnisation session shot, at one of the prettiest little hall I’ve had the pleasure of visiting, with it’s close relative, great food, and everything. All hidden in between the Kampung Kenangan Dato Onn, Batu Pahat so that it’s still nothing but peaceful and serene.

So while I adored shooting their beautiful ceremony, their wedding was an even more special affair of the heart, as it finally put a close to the cords of serendipity, timing, and friendship that intertwined throughout their years love story, and it began a new chapter full of hope, adoration, love, and an even more pronounced praise to God. I’ve known Aishah & Roy from her brother, Sudin who is my travel companion most every destination I been to before. Sudin’s little sister even more sweeter in real life while Roy is steady-happy-all-the-way-of-his-life kinda guy. That what interest me more to document their big day.

There’s just something enchanted about little intimate weddings that just capture my heart. I know weddings and marriage celebrations come in all forms, sizes, and types, but it’s the small ones that involve just the closest of relative and friends that really give way to what makes weddings beautiful – love, joy, intimacy, familiarity, and companionship. Those are the things that truly make photos beautiful and sparkle. Will post another updates on their wedding day later. Have a good day!
